Late start bivvy from Craven arm station to the top of the long mynd for a camp in minton bash woods, route is only 8miles mainly climbing, the trip is more a get out on your bike a camp trip then anything else.
Here a snap shot of the route profile, I reckon a 4 or latest 5pm start would be most appropriate

Yep we can, wrist is still not 100%.
Meet at the gliding center, i should be there about 7-7:30pm I will be hanging around there for abit, may have my dinner there whilst waiting for you. l prob move in to the woods for about 8-30 latest to set up, so you have got a pretty big time window to meet.
Il text you my number again too.

Do you not know about the 8 years I spent in Broardmoor for smothering snorers with an inflatable pillow while they slept?

Cruel and unusual. I'm surprised you didn't use your down jacket for a softer end :)

No dramas. Always a good time out under the stars. Perhaps life won't get in the way next time. :)
